Moviemov: The 1st Italian Film Festival in Manila (Nov 9-13, 2011)

Italian Embassy in Manila presents Moviemov: The 1st Italian Film Festival to be held on November 9-13, 2011 at Greenbelt 3 (Cinemas 3, 4 & 5) in Makati City. Moviemov is a travelling festival supported by the General Direction for Cinema of the Italian Ministry of Heritage and Culture, in collaboration with the Italian Embassies in Bangkok and Manila, as well as Institutional and Private Partners, whose aim is to show in Asia the best of Italian cinema today and in the past.

The organizers of this festival have decided to make the screenings of this film festival FREE to the public so that there will be bigger participation among students and the youth as well. Some workshops and review meetings will likewise be free for everyone. This first offering of the Italian Film  Festival gives an opportunity for cultural exchange of dialogues among Italian and foreign writers, actors, filmmakers & producers.

Co-organized by the Asiatica Film Mediale (organizers of the most important Asian Film Festival in Italy) and Playtown (organizers of the Film Festival in Rome), Moviemov aims to be like the Venice or the Cannes Film Festival, in which the producers, directors, actors, etc. of the films to be shown will actually come to the Philippines. On top of that, there will also be roundtable discussion among the Italian and Filipino filmmakers in order to have an international exchange of ideas and concepts in making films, and to have future collaborations and lasting partnerships together.

Two workshops by famous horror-film-director Dario Argento and award-winning composer Franco Piersanti will be conducted as well, and this will definitely draw in hundreds of people, be they students of film or film enthusiasts.
